Silver with tricolor pin stripes 1988 BMW M3

It can be a good thing to buy a car from someone who has owned several other cars of the same type. At the very least they have more than one reference point to judge things like performance, handling, or even more mundane things like noises, squeaks, and vibrations. This M3 comes from an owner who says he has owned several others.

I like my German cars in silver and this one fits the bill. The seller has added a lot of parts to this car in an attempt to turn it into an evolution clone. The extensive parts list includes:

The car has 154,600 miles, but the paint scheme and the modifications should keep bidders interested that might otherwise shy away from higher mileage cars. Besides low mile E30 M3s are really getting pricey. The seller describes the car as a driver and with the slight imperfections and no longer stock appearance that is an honest assessment. The engine bay looks really clean for a car of this mileage. The car appears to come with lots of stickers.

Bidding is up over $10,000 with the reserve not met. It will take nearly double that to own this I suspect.
